Essential
Paul Ekman has become something of an academic celebrity due to the timeliness and value of his academic interest in the world of emotion and expression. Indeed, he has help improve the world by making people cognizant of the role emotion plays for all of us -- both negatively and positively. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, in terms of becoming aware of the nature of one's own ...

The Nature of Emotion: Fundamental Questions (Series in Affective Science)

1 review

Oxford University Press, USA, 1994

Looking Dated
While the research contained in this book offer some interesting information much of the work looks very dated. While it was published in 1995 that is a very long time when it comes to neuroscience. Around that time there began an explosion of brain imaging studies using newly developed brain imaging technologies. This has allowed brain and behavior researchers to understand at a much deeper ...

A Must-Have Primer for Learning to Recognize Facial Expressions
Ekman is a leading authority on the study of the facial expressions and their relation to emotion, and this book is a methodical and thorough (for the layperson, at least) introduction to the field, with special focus on recognizing what he calls the six basic universally expressed emotions: happiness, fear, anger, surprise, disgust/contempt, and sadness. Ekman provides clear, well-detailed ...

Sharpening our emotional abilities will not only enrich our lives, but holds a key ...

Emotion, Personality, Theraputic Outcomes, and More

Paul Ekman

Holt Paperbacks, 2007

Interesting, If Occassionally Obvious
Our emotions are the music of our life; the better we understand them the better we can understand and appreciate our symphony--instead of just being overwhelmed. Paul Ekman has done more research on emotions than just about anyone. His insights let us notice things that might otherwise seem too obvious. But occasionally he dwells a bit too long on the obvious. Still recommended. Ideally, I'd ...

Paul Ekman

W. W. Norton & Company, 2001

Ekman is better than he is given credit
Dr Eckman may disappoint his readers by not giving them what they want: A simple protocol for determining whether or not someone is lying. There is a simple reason: There isn't one. Other books will defraud the reader by giving them techniques that in reality don't work. Dr Eckman pounds in one central point - that there is no one single way to detect dishonesty. He calls any belief to the ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

An enriching reading!
This is the main contribution to interdisciplinary studies that converge in psychology and biology. It is a key piece inside Darwin `s work. If the well known decay of the compared psychology at the early years of the XX Century- when the evolutionism followers forgot about the behaviors and the psychologists did without anatomy and physiology- diminished briefly influence to the actual ...
